My Cute Family

It had been awhile since we did family pictures, so it was time again. ☺

and everyone said "Hooray!"

.

.

Not.

I think we're so white we throw off the camera's automatic white balance feature. Hee.

Anyway, Sharon took these for us.

(Thanks Sharon!)

I did the editing and now that I've uploaded them I see things I left out, but I'm too lazy and don't have time to go fix stuff.

However, I've resolved (once again) that I need to lose those last 10 Ella pounds. ☺ Darn-it.

Every photoshoot has to have one unhappy participant, and this time it was Aidan.

The kids are DONE!

Construction Update #8

It's Spring in EskDale and the work is going full force.

Sidewalk is finished and now everything is connected.

Still adding dirt to the middle area and then the sprinker installing will start

and pulling out the trees that needed to come out.

Meanwhile...over at the center.

Stairs have been put up, and the deck is up

It doesn't look very big from here.

but from here, it's pretty good sized. ☺

View from the deck.

Mothers Day

(My Mom)

(It was windy ☺)

Hope all you mothers had a great day!

Open Invitation

We're all moved in!

Just kidding!

However, everyone is welcome to help us work on the house on Sunday morning! ☺

Feeding the Ducks

We tried to go play at the park and feed ducks with Melanie and the boys, but it didn't last long since it was so cloudy and cold. (the pictures are deceptive)

(yes, having them by the canal is somewhat terrifying) ☺

LaZy

Sometimes it's nice to have a day during the weekend where you don't have anything on the agenda, lounge around in pj's until noon, make faces in the mirror, and chew on our toys... (I'd say sleep in, but that doesn't happen regardless of what day it is) ☺

That's what the kids and I did on Sunday morning, and Cary folded laundry. (What a guy!)

Birthday BBQ

Greg and Lois were in town and it's close to Josh's B-Day so they hosted a BBQ for him at Josh and Kiera's house.

Unfortunately, the weather didn't cooperate and being outside wasn't all that pleasant.

I love taking pictures of people eating.

Aidan would rather play with Jordynne's kitchen than eat.

In the middle of it I had to go pick up my parents from the airport so I left the camera and instructions for Cary to take pictures.

So this is what I found on the camera. ☺

Unfortunately, my airport trip that was only supposed to take about 20-30 minutes turned into a lot longer because of the weather delaying flights and all that.

Sorry Shawn, Chris and Amanda, I was hoping to get more photos but this is what I have. (Thanks Abby!)

When I got back the crew was watching a movie and Aidan, Ella, and Jordynne were playing in the other room with grandma.
